Ontario man kicks his way to $1-million prize

Diesbourg kicked a 50-yard field goal at half time of Thursday's Toronto Argonauts-Hamilton Tiger-Cats game to win the big prize.
"It was crazy," said Canada's newest millionaire, who was mobbed by Argos players when he made the kick.
The 25-year old from Belle River, Ont. got the opportunity to kick for the money when his name was randomly drawn from 200,000 entries in Wendy's Kick for a Million promotion.

Diesbourg got kicks from four distances -- the 20-yard line, 30-yard line, 40-yard line and the 50-yard line. He missed the first three kicks, which would have won him smaller prizes.
